Back in the original games, it is plainly stated that Silph cancelled production due to Team Rocket with insinuation that the one given to the player is the only one that exists. However, Gen 2 retcons this by having not only the player get a Master Ball from Elm (retconning the one the player gets in Gen 1 being the only one made) but also allows infinite Master Balls from the Radio Tower lottery. And future gens continue in a similar way. Given there are apparently enough Master Balls being produced to be given away in lotteries, why hasn't the Master Ball become the only ball produced?
